Auto Follow

You can set parts of an ME or Aux Bus to follow the operation of
another part. For example, you can have one Transition module follow another, a Keyer bus follow
another Keyer bus, or have an entire ME or
Aux Bus follow another. Both parts of the auto follow must be of the same type, a crosspoint bus can
only follow another crosspoint bus.

Operations, such as crosspoint selection or transitions, that are performed on one part are repeated
on the other part.

Auto follow actions only echo commands, and do not echo the state. For example, if a transition is
performed on an ME, the auto follow ME also performs a transition, regardless of
what is currently on-air on that ME. If key 1
is on-air on ME 1 but off-air on ME 2, the transition takes key 1 off-air on
ME 1, but on-air on ME 2.

If a memory register contains different setting on each ME, the local settings will be used. Auto
Recall for memories only ensures that the same memory register is recalled on the Echo To
ME. For example, if memory register 09 is recalled on the Echo From
ME, memory register 09 is also recalled on the Echo To ME.
These two memory registers may contain different settings.
